Conclusions
-
1.
Dimethylhexamethylenesilane is polymerized under the influence of aluminum chloride with an opening of the ring. Methylethylpentamethylenesilane, isomeric with it, undergoes disproportionation of the alkyl radicals under the same conditions.
-
2.
Dimethylpentamethylenesilane (80% yield) and dimethylhexamethylenesilane (1–3% yield) are formed from α,Ω-bis(trimethylsilyl)penta- and -hexamethylene under the influence of aluminum chloride.
